Castro is the real deal, and he really gets it. His immigration plan and his proposals for ground-level-up police reform are the best I’ve ever seen. He actually has specific, detailed plans for how to change the laws so that police can no longer get away with randomly shooting citizens, esp. of color, and how to…

Is it canned soup?

Am I the only one who, when I first saw the pictures and read the headline, thought that Edwards was the one who had the intellectual disability and Smith was the restaurant owner? I eventually parsed it out, but, honestly, even after getting things straight in my head, it still seems like Edwards would be the one on…

Sadly, this is true. We need to get a Green New Deal Democrat in the White House and change for financial calculus for companies and individual for the foreseeable future.

For the poster who replied to me:

You should maybe see a psychiatrist about your rage problem, there. Years and years of pleading, fighing climate-change deniers politically, trying to rein in the oil and gas oligarchs using current political and economic systems has yielded diddly-squat. Anybody who cares about the future of humanity, not to mention…

Poodletime here. The Splinter Escape Pod is up and running, though my computer’s going into the shop tomorrrow, and not much will be happening until Friday,  at

I love, love, love looking at the video of my own surgeries, especially the laparascopic ones. I mean, how often do you get to see inside your own body? I guess your experience and the experience of the women in San Diego shows us the difference between full transparency and suspicion and idiocy.

My dear, thank you for the kind words. While throwing a milkshake might be cathartic, getting those photos/video will really f%&$ him up much more. Whether out of laziness or corruption, the pool photogrsphers never seem to show the back or sides of the halls he’s ranting in. I feel this is crucial in order to counter…

Maybe once we get a Green New Deal, we can turn all of those oil and gas subsidies to helping firms like Dyson pay for their R & D and development.

This is brilliant! Reminds me of my old days at Greenpeace, but even more ballsy. Good job, E.R.!

Just saw this.  Sigh.  A complication I really don’t need.

I hope to have it up and running by early next week. I’ve gotta figure out how to pay people a stipend in other cities to go into a Trump rally and get photos/video of the sides and back of the halls. I mean, the guy is in Minneapolis tonite. Home of the formerly great Al Franken and the guy he replaced, rats, i can’t…

WHOA! Just what I want to do - end up in the greys with the trolls at another division. Sigh. I did make a peronal Kinja site, lo these many ago after the Peter Thiel attack, called the Gawker Escape Pod. We can always meet there and chat. I haven’t used it in a while, but everybody tuck it into your memory in case.

Well, yesterday evening, the hubby took pity on my and moved my account temporarily to his big honking Mac, which is a development machine, big, fast and burly, and scrubbed and buffed to within an inch of its life, and Kinja has gradually been eating it alive. So, there’s that.

I feel you, sister/brother! Kinja has turned into a resource-hogging computer-breaker. All I can think is that Spanfeller is trying to gut this place and get his money out in a tearing hurry. Hence, let Kinja drive all of the commenters around the bend, collect your residual money sooner.

You know what, ghouls at the Washington Times (owned by the Moonies the last time I checked)? I have a girlfriend who is in the fifth out of seven years of discharging personal bankruptcy (unpaid medical bills from before she was full-time, of course.) Do you know what is included in her fixed expenses budget every…

It’s certainly gotten worse. My adblockers are also in a state of failure now, and once I updated my software and OS and switched to a combination of Safari and Firefox, things just plummeted downhill from there. I’m gonna stick with the “3 minutes on, 30 minutes off” strategy for while, borrow the hubby’s big-ass…

The hubby done scrubbed it pretty good. I think it’s just accumulated years of abuse, plus Kinja is driving it bats. From what I’ve heard from other commenters, it’s hurting other folks’ computers, too.  Kinja seems very f-ed up as a system.

Sadly, no smartphone. Though it does keep me off the InterNetz, so there’s that!
